David & Stu... Unhinged!

94: Scamelot, Progressive Paroling, Elon’s Ketamine Capitalism & War Gambling

Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. This week, David & Stu get into four stories making headlines and disgusting reasonable minds. Scamelot — Jack Schlossberg wants a seat in Congress despite having no real accomplishments beyond inheriting America’s most over-marketed political last name. The campaign is chaotic, amateurish, and somehow still taken seriously because the elite establishment still has not let go of the Camelot myth. Progressive Paroling — Albany Democrats want violent felons released unless the state can prove they’re still dangerous, while another proposal lets criminals 55+ seek parole after 15 years, no matter the sentence. Apparently, victims are now the least important people in the justice system. Ketamine Capitalism — Elon Musk’s OpenAI lawsuit collapsed in humiliating fashion, exposing what increasingly looks less like AI ethics and more like a billionaire ego spiral fueled by social media addiction, pharmaceuticals, & delusional thinking. War Gambling — A U.S. Army Special Forces Master Sergeant allegedly used classified intel tied to the Maduro operation to make over $400K betting on Polymarket while helping plan the mission itself. Prediction markets are rapidly becoming insider trading for geopolitics, and Congress needs to step in with guardrails instead of wasting time figuring out how to fund Trump’s gaudy vanity projects like that ballroom fiasco.

93: Spies, Murdaugh & Taped Toucans—Plus FDA Chaos

Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. This week, David & Stu get into four stories that sound fictional and aren't. Mao's Revenge – A Southern California mayor and her ex-fiancé face federal charges for allegedly operating a covert Chinese influence campaign disguised as local news. Fake headlines, real political targets, and a question nobody's fully answered yet: how high did it go? Murdaugh Madness – Alex Murdaugh was supposed to be done. Convicted. Gone. Now, explosive jury tampering allegations have cracked the case back open, and a judge's stunning ruling has thrown everything into chaos. A retrial isn't off the table. Toucans in the Dashboard – Federal agents pull over a car at the California border and find endangered birds taped up and hidden inside the dashboard. Broken bones. A black market trafficking ring. A five-figure penalty. One of the darkest and strangest stories in recent memory. MAHA Mayhem – Dr. Marty Makary was supposed to be the adult in the room at the FDA. A respected Johns Hopkins surgeon, a familiar face, someone who knew the science. Then the political pressure over abortion pills, vaping, and COVID vaccines became too much, and he was out. With RFK Jr. sidelined and Trump keeping his distance, nobody's steering the ship. Foreign spies. A murder case that won't die. Black market wildlife. A leaderless FDA.

92: Fashion Fallout, Digital Disaster, Weaponized Justice & Flight Fiasco

Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. This week, David and Stu cut through the noise on four stories that have no business being this entertaining. Reboot Culture & the Met Gala Money Machine Devil Wears Prada 2 arrived just in time for Met Gala 2026—because Hollywood would rather mine nostalgia than take a risk. Meryl Streep is back, the cameos are plentiful, and the plot was apparently optional. Meanwhile, the Met itself has become less a celebration of fashion-as-art and more a very expensive costume party underwritten by a vulgar billionaire and his trashy wife. We ask the uncomfortable question: at what point does spectacle replace substance entirely? Maine Towns vs. the AI Data Center Boom. The promise was jobs and progress. What towns like Wiscasset, Maine, are actually getting: skyrocketing energy consumption, strained water supplies, and rising costs—with almost no local employment to show for it. The cloud has a carbon footprint, and some communities are now pushing back hard. The EEOC's DEI Lawsuits: Culture War Theater. With two active wars and a shaky economy, the Trump administration's Justice Department has identified the true threat to America: the New York Times and college DEI programs. The EEOC's "reverse discrimination" cases are legally thin and politically calculated—loud enough to dominate headlines, unlikely to survive serious judicial scrutiny. Newark Airport: A United Jet, a Light Pole, and I-95. A United Airlines plane clipped a light pole on departure, sent debris raining onto I-95, and triggered a chain-reaction highway crash. Stu—a former student pilot who once came dangerously close to landing on a truck—had genuine thoughts. We hope you tune in, and please leave comments.
